The Reaper
I walk a barren earth
severed from time and space
I walk a lifeless earth
dead memories I embrace
I walk a silenced earth
no heartbeats but my own
I walk a mourning earth
reaping sorrows that I've sown
I walk a yearning earth
longing for days long dead
I walk a speechless earth
and hear my doom unsaid
I'll walk the shattered earth
for millennia, and alone
For I've walked the ravaged earth
The futile death I've known
November 7th, 1967
